A procession crosses a paved temple courtyard in bright daylight, walking past a large shade tree toward a white gopuram tower of a South Indian temple. At the front, a shaved-headed man in orange robes walks beside an orange umbrella held aloft over a group of saffron-clad sannyasis and women in orange saris. Many devotees and visitors in white shirts, dhotis, and casual clothes follow behind, some carrying flower bouquets. A stone Nandi bull statue and a pillared mandapa stand at the right edge of the frame. The scene is busy with roughly twenty visible walkers.
